The great astronomy podcast Slacker Astronomy has moved on to Slackerpedia Galactica and AstronomyCast. I can’t say much yet about Slackerpedia, but AstronomyCast is excellent.
On a long drive last Friday, I listened to several episodes of AstronomyCast, and it is excellent. Dr. Pamela Gay, one of the main protagonists at Slacker Astronomy, provides excellent explanations of astronomical topics with good counterpoint and hosting of Fraser Cain of Universe Today. Well worth a listen on iTunes or direct.
On a related note, the old/new Slacker Astronomy site linked to a great video of the cleaning of the 200″ mirror at Mt. Palomar. Take a peek, it is a great three minutes.
Is the site about doing astronomy or astronomical phenomenon?
The sites I mention are about astronomical phenomenon. Good, clear descriptions of complex scientific research. Lots of fun to listen to.
